Student Ministry at North Wake

Student ministry exists to extend the core mission of North Wake church to our students and families. This means we want our students and their families to know the love of God in Jesus Christ, grow in love for one another, and go in love to reach our neighbors near and far. All of our ministry to students flows out from our theme passage of Colossians 1:28-29:

“Him we proclaim warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me”


Locations and Times

On Sunday mornings, students gather in building 2 during the second service (10:45am-12:05pm) for a time of Christ centered teaching and discussion. We seek to demonstrate how the gospel speaks directly to students’ lives and how true life is found in knowing and following Jesus.

Student Grow Groups meet on Sunday nights and are designed to help students grow in Christ through community, Scripture, and soul care. We gather at 6:00pm for worship and a short game, then split into four grade-based groups (Yellow, Blue, Red, and Green). Our schedule alternates weekly: one week we meet coed for Bible study and discussion, and the next we split by gender for Real Talk Nights—intentional space for honest conversation, prayer, and soul care. Student Grow Groups are built to mirror the structure and values of our adult Grow Groups.

If you have any questions or just wish to know more about these weekly gatherings email students@northwake.com.
